Default B20 vtec thicker head gasket

Does any company other than cometic make a thicker headgasket for the b20 vtec. I had a cometic one and my car is overheating after 4000 miles on my build.

Why do you need a thicker headgasket and why do you feel that a thicker headgasket will solve your overheating issues?

Default Re: B20 vtec thicker head gasket

My head gasket is already thicker (.056) I have a thicker one because I'm at 11.8:1 with a supercharger and if I run a stock one I will be at 12.8 which I can't tune safely with 91. So IDE like to find a company other than cometic that makes thicker head gaskets because my cometic one blew within 4000 miles.

I honestly dont believe that Cometic makes shity head gaskets. Ive used them without issue. But if you want to try something else a company called SCE makes copper head gaskets.

My old B20 did this and it wasnt the HG.

I had a small crack in the sleeve and would only overheat when i got up in the RPMs in boost. It was so small i could barely find it.. So check everything closely.

I also use permetex copper gasket sealant on my HG's
